Suprascapular nerve decompression, pagpapagaan ng presyon sa nerbiyo sa balikat. Kieran Hirpara 4.0

Ang pahinang ito ay isinalin ng makina at hindi pa nasusuri ng isang doktor. Ang bersyong Ingles ang siyang opisyal.

Bakit ito ang inirekomendang operasyon

Ang operasyong ito, na tinatawag na arthroscopic suprascapular nerve decompression, ay isang keyhole surgery upang malaya ang isang nerbiyo sa iyong balikat na naging pinched. Inirekomenda ito ng iyong surgeon dahil ikaw ay may isolated nerve compression na nagdudulot ng sakit o kahinaan na hindi gumagaling sa non-surgical na paggamot tulad ng physical therapy o gamot. Bagaman bihira ang kondisyong ito, ligtas at epektibo ang prosedura kapag ginawa ng isang eksperto na surgeon upang bawasan ang pressure sa nerbiyo.

Ang pangunahing layunin ay pigilan ang sakit at tulungan kang muling makuha ang normal na function at lakas ng iyong balikat. Kung mayroon kang rotator cuff tear, maaaring hindi magdagdag ng karagdagang benepisyo ang operasyong ito maliban na lang kung malinaw na trapped ang nerbiyo. Kailangan mong iwasan ang pagmamaneho ng hindi bababa sa anim na linggo pagkatapos ng anumang operasyon sa balikat. Maaari kang magmaneho muli kapag pinayagan ka ng iyong surgeon, karaniwan sa pagsusuri sa anim na linggo. Pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng upper-limb surgery.

Bago ang operasyon

Kailangan mong mag-fasting bago ang iyong operasyon at itigil ang ilang gamot ayon sa payo ng iyong surgeon. Mangyaring mag-arrange ng taong magdadala sa iyo pauwi at dalhin ang listahan ng lahat ng iyong kasalukuyang gamot. Magsuot ng komportableng damit papunta sa ospital. Maaaring kailanganin kang magpa-X-ray, MRI, blood test, o anaesthetic review upang suriin ang iyong balikat at pangkalahatang kalusugan. Isasagawa ng iyong surgeon ang operasyong ito gamit ang keyhole approach na may dalawa o tatlong maliit na incision at isang maliit na camera sa loob ng joint. Hindi ka dapat magmaneho ng hindi bababa sa anim na linggo pagkatapos ng anumang operasyon sa balikat, kahit ito ay iyong kaliwang braso. Hindi ka makakamaneho habang nakasuot ng sling. Maaari kang magmaneho muli kapag pinahintulutan ka ng iyong surgeon, karaniwan sa six-week review. Tingnan ang aming gabay tungkol sa Pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng upper-limb surgery.

Sa araw ng operasyon

Dadating ka sa ospital at makikilala mo ang iyong anestesista bago ang operasyon. Ang operasyong ito ay ginagawa sa ilalim ng pangkalahatang anestesia na pinagsama ng regional nerve block. Ikaw ay ganap na matutulog sa panahon ng operasyon, at ang nerve block (isang injeksyon na nagpapabango sa mga nerbiyos na nagpapadala ng sensasyon sa braso bago ka gumising) ay nagbibigay ng pagpapagaan ng sakit sa unang 12 hanggang 24 oras pagkatapos ng operasyon. Makikilala ka ng anestesista bago ang operasyon at ipapaliwanag niya sa iyo ang parehong bahagi.

Ang iyong surgeon ay gagamit ng arthroscopic (keyhole) na paraan sa paggawa ng operasyong ito, na may dalawa o tatlong maliit na hiwa at isang maliit na camera sa loob ng kasukasuan. Pagkatapos ng operasyon, gagising ka sa recovery area na may braso na nakasling. Hindi ka makakapagmaneho ng hindi bababa sa anim na linggo pagkatapos ng anumang operasyon sa balikat, kahit na ito ay iyong kaliwang braso. Kailangan mong maghintay hanggang sa iyong surgeon ang magbigay ng pahintulot, kadalasan sa pagsusuri sa anim na linggo, bago ka makakapagmaneho muli.

Ano ang kinabibilangan ng operasyon

Ang iyong manggagamot ay gagamit ng mga teknik na may keyhole (laparoscopic) para gawin ang operasyong ito. Gagawa sila ng dalawa o tatlong maliit na hiwa, bawat isa ay humigit-kumulang 1 cm ang haba, sa paligid ng iyong balikat. Sa pamamagitan ng mga bukasang ito, ipapasok ang isang maliit na kamera at espesyal na mga kasangkapan upang makita ang loob ng kasukasuan. Ang paraang ito ay nagbibigay sa iyong manggagamot ng malinaw na pananaw upang gamutin ang nerbiyos at anumang ibang isyu sa balikat nang sabay-sabay.

Ang pangunahing layunin ay palayain ang suprascapular nerve, na isang istrukturang parang kable na nagkontrol sa paggalaw ng balikat. Maingat na kilalanin at protektahan ng iyong manggagamot ang blood vessel na tumatakbo sa tabi ng nerbiyos. Pagkatapos ay ilalabas nila ang mahigpit na banda ng tissue, na tinatawag na spinoglenoid ligament, na pumipiga sa nerbiyos. Ito ay lumilikha ng mas maraming espasyo upang makapagpagaling ang nerbiyos. Sa ilang kaso, maaaring gamitin ng iyong manggagamot ang itaas na gilid ng iyong shoulder blade bilang gabay upang gawing mas mabilis ang operasyon at magtanggal ng mas kaunting tissue.

Kapag nalayag na ang nerbiyos, isasara ng iyong manggagamot ang mga maliit na hiwa gamit ang mga dissolving stitches o glue. Hindi mo na kailangang bumalik para sa pag-alis ng sutures. Ang prosedurang ito ay dinisenyo upang bawasan ang sakit at tulungan kang muling makuha ang normal na pag-andar ng iyong balikat.

Pagkatapos ng operasyon

Gising ka sa recovery ward na may maliit na dressing sa iyong balikat. Ginamit ng iyong surgeon ang arthroscopic (keyhole) na paraan na may dalawa o tatlong maliit na putol at isang maliit na camera sa loob ng iyong kasukasuan. Mag-aayos ka ng sling para sa kumportableng suporta. Ang sakit ay pinamamahalaan gamit ang gamot na ibinibigay ng iyong koponan. Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay nananatili ng isang gabi sa ospital pagkatapos ng operasyong ito, bagaman may mga makakapagpunta sa bahay sa parehong araw. Mayroon kang kailangang kasama sa unang 24 na oras upang tulungan ka. Huwag magmaneho ng hindi bababa sa anim na linggo pagkatapos ng operasyong ito. Kailangan mong hintayin hanggang sa i-clear ka ng iyong surgeon, karaniwan sa iyong pagsusuri sa anim na linggo, bago magmaneho muli. Tingnan ang aming gabay tungkol sa Pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng operasyon sa itaas na bahagi ng katawan para sa karagdagang detalye.

Pagbawi

Maaaring maranasan mong masakit at pamamaga ang iyong balikat sa unang ilang araw. Ito ay normal habang ang iyong katawan ay nagpapagaling mula sa maliliit na incisions na keyhole. Maaaring irekomenda ng iyong doktor ang paggamit ng yelo at gamot pang-alis ng sakit upang mapagaan ang hindi komportableng pakiramdam. Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay nakakaramdam na unti-unting bumababa ang sakit at pamamaga habang bumabalik ang galaw.

Magdudulot ka ng sling upang protektahan ang iyong balikat habang nakahinga ka. Gabay ng iyong pisioterapeuta ang iyong paggawa ng banayad na ehersisyo upang mabawi ang lakas at galaw. Maaari kang gumawa ng simpleng pang-araw-araw na gawain sa bahay, ngunit dapat iwasan ang pag-angat ng mabibigat na bagay o ang pag-abot sa likod ng iyong likod. Maaaring hindi komportable ang pagtulog sa simula; madalas na tumutulong ang pagtayo gamit ang mga unan.

Hindi ka makakapagmaneho habang naka-sling o kung masakit pa rin ang iyong balikat. Susuriin ng iyong doktor ang iyong progreso, at maaari kang bigyan ng pahintulot na magmaneho sa anim na linggo. Basahin ang aming gabay tungkol sa Pagmamaneho pagkatapos ng operasyon sa itaas na bahagi ng katawan para sa karagdagang detalye. Natatangi ang iyong pagbawi, kaya sundin ang partikular na payo ng iyong doktor at pisioterapeuta.

Maaaring mangyari

Karamihan sa mga pasyente ay magagaling, ngunit minsan ay may mga problema na maaaring mangyari. Ang iyong surgeon at ang team ay magbabantay nang maigi upang maagang matukoy ang anumang isyu.

Minsan, ang mga nerbiyos o ugat ng dugo sa malapit sa iyong balikat ay may hindi karaniwang hugis o posisyon. Maaaring gawing mas mahirap ang operasyon. Maaari kang maranasan ang malalim at pulso-pulso na sakit na hindi nababawasan ng simpleng gamot pang-alis ng sakit. Kung mangyari ito, tumawag agad sa iyong klinika.

Sa panahon ng iyong keyhole surgery, hinahanap ng iyong surgeon ang nerbiyos at arterya na tumatakbo sa tabi nito. Pinoprotektahan nila ang mga ito nang mabuti upang mapanatili ang iyong kaligtasan. Kung mapansin mo ang biglaang pamamaga, pamumula, o bagong pakiramdam ng kahinaan sa iyong balikat, ipaalam agad sa iyong surgeon.

Sa ilang kaso, maaaring hindi ang nerbiyos ang pangunahing sanhi ng iyong sakit kung mayroon kang malaking rotator cuff tear. Maaaring hindi ka makaramdam ng pagpapagaan kahit na malaya na ang nerbiyos. Kung hindi nababawasan ang iyong sakit pagkatapos ng prosedimiento, itaas ito sa iyong susunod na review.

Kung mayroon kang kumpletong pagbabago ng taba sa mga kalamnan ng iyong balikat, maaari kang agad na makaramdam ng pagpapagaan ng sakit. Gayunpaman, hindi mawawala ang mga pagbabago sa kalamnan mismo. Tatalakayin ng iyong surgeon kung ano ang inaasahan base sa iyong partikular na resulta ng scan.

Ang table ng mga komplikasyon sa pahinang ito ay naglalaman ng karaniwang mga rate kung nais mo ng mga detalye.

Kailan tawagan ang aming opisina

Tawagan kami kung may lagnat, lumalalang pamumula, o paglabas ng likido mula sa iyong mga maliit na hiwa. Pumunta sa emergency kung bigla kang maranasan ang matinding sakit, pamamaga ng binti, o hirap sa paghinga. Agad naming kontakin kung mawalan ng pakiramdam sa iyong braso o hindi mo na makagalaw ang iyong limb. Huwag magmaneho ng hindi bababa sa anim na linggo pagkatapos ng operasyon sa balikat na ito. Maaari kang magmaneho lamang kapag pinapayagan ka ng iyong surgeon, kadalasan sa pagsusuri sa ika-anim na linggo.
